My aim is to offer insights into some of the more subtle principles underpinning prints. The commentary is based on thirty-eight years of teaching and the prints and other collectables that I am focusing on are those which I have acquired over the years.
In the galleries of prints (accessed by clicking the links immediately below) I am also adding fresh images offered for sale. If you get lost in the maze of links, simply click the "home" button to return to the blog discussions.

Legros is seldom
linked with the Impressionist movement, nevertheless, to my eyes this print
exemplifies the Impressionists' quest to create images that capture the effects
of shimmering light on surfaces. Going further, Legros’ crosshatched treatment
of the portrayed scene not only expresses the idea of sparkling light bouncing
off the river bank and the screen of trees beyond, the crosshatching may even
lend the suggestion of an intangible and non-visual sensation of crisp, fresh
air that Legros may have experienced when drawing the scene.
